I've ridden everything from sports bikes to cruisers and this is by far the best motorcycle I've had. This R Nine T has the perfect amount of power, comfortable seating position and loads of options. I really enjoyed the heated grips in the winter. I was surprised that I could warm up from just heated grips. This bike also comes with cruise control which is great for longer rides. Even though it came with multiple ride modes I kept it in dynamic as it delivers the most power and throttle response. I would use this bike for my daily commute but now I work from home. I'm selling this bike because I simply don't have the time to ride it anymore. This R nine T is in perfect condition inside and out, there isn't a single scratch. This bike is easy to ride. I would recommend this bike to both first-time and experienced riders.

I personally LOVED owning and riding my 2016 R1200GS. I never initially considered buying this bike and was going to buy something else. I thought that I wanted something more pretty, less unique or more powerful...but then I took it for a test ride and understood the hype about BMW GS bikes. The BMW build quality is just awesome. They do it the best direct from the factory with high quality components throughout: Adjustable Sachs suspension, Brembo brakes, braided stainless coated hydraulics, LED lighting, Bosch electronics and tech that surpasses all others. The handling is second to none with a circle turn radius of less than 8 feet . The braking is amaizing, where there is NO dive due to BMW lever suspension system. The bike squats upon hard braking instead of diving from traditional telescopic fork tube suspension. The low center of gravity and torque from the boxer motor is more than adequate and reliability is off the charts. There are more BMW boxers are on the road eating up greater miles compared to others. The torque and HP are enough that I never had to disable the default traction control to get more out of the 1200 engine. It truely is enough and I'm not a small guy. The only downside if it's even considered negative is the tall riding stance and wind protection, but these minor shortcomings that can be solved with greater wind protection mods and lower seat/suspension mods. Touring with the GS is just amaizing too. I could safely stand, stretch and change into so many different comfy riding positions that I would run out of fuel before growing fatigued or uncomfortable. I would honestly implore. Yes, IMPLORE you to try out a GS. If haven't rode a BMW GS, don't wait it will most likely be the one you buy. Also, the different and unique look of the GS is something that will grow in your heart throughout ownership. IMHO it's one of the best looking motorcycles made. After owning my GS for 8 years, I now understand why they will forever be cemented as icons amongst motorcycle enthusiasts.

Have really enjoyed this bike! Only regret is not having the time to ride it more! Have owned several bikes, Harleys, Sport Bikes and others and get more compliments on this bike than any other. Just a cool looking blend of retro and modern that just works. A blast to ride. Abundant torque, great in the turns and comfortable for me for 2-3 hour stints for sure. Heated grips are great to have and accessory power hook up for heated jacket pants or use as battery tender installed. I am selling it for two reasons. #1. Kids are all out of the house and wife and I downsized. No more three car garage:( #2. Purchased 2023 GS 1250 R to take longer trips now that kids are off the payroll:)

I've had a dozen different Bikes starting with a 1926 HD "F" head 61 with suicide shift. I've had Triumphs and Goldwings. The R1200 RT stands out as the most enjoyable ride. The passing capability is more than adequate. The power windshield and heated grips work well for a variety of weather conditions. The radio and new front and rear rubber makes you road ready. The low milage and winters in a heated garage keep this bike feeling young.

Very nice low end torque, perfect on a windy road, weekend ride, but not so much for daily commute, although you will turn lots of heads. It’s a beautiful bike to be sure and mechanically solid. You need to monitor the oil closely as R9Ts are notorious for burning through oil, but on and all a great bike if you prize character and reliability over sheer performance. The only drawback is the aggressive riding position, which is perfect for leisurely carving curves, but painful when you’re stuck on freeway traffic. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something fun with lots of personality.

I have owned 19 motorcycles including Yamaha, BMW, Ducati, Honda , and Harley. Only Motorcycle I didn't want to get off of. The high miles are due to 4 round trips from California to Ohio and weekend trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Gettysburg, and Florida. Stable in turns and at highway speeds (85 ). Handles 2 up as easily as single rider comfortably. I have done 1075 miles in a single day and while a little sore completed 940 miles the following day. Never an issue. If you are considering this well rounded motorcycle you cant go wrong. BMW only produced this sport tourer for 3 years and shipped only 500 to the states.

Bought a 2023 BMW R Nine T pure brand new. On the way home there was a rattle in the tank and the engine. According to the dealer they first said to just break it in. But then when it did not go away and took it back they could not hear it. Then said that the new Euro 5 emissions cause it. What does emissions have to do with a rattle in the tank or engine? However BMW does not stand behind their product neither does the dealer. So, if you are looking for a dealer that backs their product look elsewhere. If you are looking for a manufacturer that stands behind their product look to another brand. Many times I have tried to get into a different bike with as you guessed no help from BMW or the dealer. The only reason for one star is because there is no choice for zero stars. What's more after leaving this heart felt and factual account there still will not be anyone whom cares enough to make it right. Because if they do I will change my rating if I do not then you will know what I say was truthful...
